Start a broadcast
Create your broadcast on the web, link it to your race, and choose how your position reaches the map: the Livebib app or the race's own tracking.
Create a broadcast
- Tap “Create a broadcast”, or open a race's page and create it from there.
- Log in if you are asked to. The first time, confirm that you are 16 or older and accept the terms.
- Write what you are doing and choose the activity.
- Choose “Race” and pick your race and distance, or “Route” or “Workout”.
- Choose who can see it, and tap “Create broadcast”.
Route, Race or Workout?
- “Race”: a race with a start time. Pick it from the list, and the course, the checkpoints and the start time come with it.
- “Route”: an outing of your own. Leave the date empty and it goes live when you start.
- “Workout”: a training session, like intervals or a long run.
Public or unlisted?
- “Public — listed on Livebib”: on the board and the race's page.
- “Unlisted — only people you send the link”: only those with the link can watch.
A broadcast shows your live position. Watching and cheering are open to everyone; broadcasting is for 16 and older.
How does it go live?
- With the Livebib app: start the broadcast in the app on your phone. It sends your position, also with the screen off.
- With the race's tracking: attach your tracking link, and the broadcast goes live by itself when the race publishes your times.
Draw your own route
“Draw a route” at livebib.com/routes/new lets you draw a course on the map. Tap “Use for a broadcast” to create a broadcast with it.
